I see what you did there. Very good 👏🏿

 

Wit aside, it seems his hire is very much temporary and he’ll not have much of an impact in any event. 

 

Rather than being on borrowed time as initially thought, it appears (at least on the surface) that CBS/SONY are doubling down with the ‘Serial Shaking Scouser’ 🙈

[Faulkner]

Did I miss Neil visiting Lily in prison? 

 

EDIT: He hasn’t visited her. So Jill visits Neil’s only daughter in jail before he does while Neil is involved in ASHLEY’s story. Mind-boggling but not that surprising.

I hope we get a scene of Jill sending Devon his condolences.....she always demeaned Hilary too 

[SteelCity]

Can I ever get a scene of Jill giving Phyllis a good backhand?! I would just love that! Why does Phyllis never (aside from ONCE) get slapped?

[ChitHappens]

 

Anybody giving that ho a back hand would work!  

[SFK]

Waymint, I'm sorry, now WHY was Jack getting his DNA compared to Victor's?

[edgeofnik]

 

Because Albert Miller was in that photograph. Fortunately, it's all been resolved. It's clear someone tampered with results and it doesn't take a big leap to figure out who did it based on the exit that happening in a couple of weeks.   

[YRfan23]

She’s gotten slapped twice, Nina slapped her when MS was still playing her and Kelly slapped Phyllis right when GT took over....

I’m almost certain Stafford didn’t ever want to see Phyllis get slapped...has Nina on GH gotten slapped yet?? 

[SteelCity]

I forget about the Kelly slap, hell, I forget about Kelly!

[SFK]

 

Thank you!

[DeeeDee]

This show is terrible.

[SteelCity]

Now I'm not sure who has the more annoying, strange voice, Arturo or Kyle.

 

SN: where is Noah and why isn't he being mentioned?!

Frankly, I'm not mad at that resolution. At least it just throws this thing in the crap pile and we can forget it ever happened!

[Faulkner]

It really is bad. Again, it feels disjointed, like every week a new writer comes in and does a reset. I think a lot of it feels like it stems from BTS chaos.

 

They are just throwing in Neil because they have to at this point. Everything about him—his disconnect from the Lily story, his sex romps with Ashley—is nonsensical.

[Khan]

So, if it isn't Albert Miller, then who is John's bio dad?

This is a well acted but terribly written scene. Characters telling us exactly how they feel is such...lazy writing. Nikki should never articulate that she dislikes Sharon because she reminds her of herself, that should remain an unspoken undercurrent of their relationship. Not something she says out loud and certainly not to Sharon herself.

 

And then Nikki repeatedly saying Nick is coming into his own and that Sharon should just accept it is...yikes. You've been complaining about Victor's actions for 40 years. Every 2 years you yell and scream and cry about some "unforgivable" act he's committed yet they want to act like Nikki's been his ride or die? She's forgiven him plenty but RARELY has she ever been down with his underhandedness.

 

The overselling of Nick as a bad boy and the New Victor shows that it's not working and will not work for this character of Josh Morrow's acting skills. It's not who Nick is, it's never who he'll be and jumping through hoops to make it work is an exercise in futility.
